What we do
INTERNACIONAL NETWORKING
OLA is made up of theatres, companies and festivals of different scales and countries with varied backgrounds. The essence of networking is that the associated organisations generate relationships of trust and collaboration that allow them to nourish each other by exchanging good practices in different areas of management and developing joint projects. Through different actions, OLA articulates these links and puts professionals from different areas of the network’s member entities in contact. (About us link)
FORUMS
OLA has developed networking forums among its members, which are opportunities for theatre teams to connect with each other, generate business networks and share good practices, thus helping to professionalise the sector. The current forums are: marketing, fundraising, technical and artistic programming.. Check them here–>
